Fractions in LaTeX
This guide covers basic and advanced fraction formatting: inline versus display math, nested fractions, continued fractions, and related constructs like binomial coefficients.
Basic Fractions with \\frac
Inline fraction
Use in inline math for short numerators and denominators.
Display fraction
Use display math for larger expressions for better readability.
Nested and Complex Fractions
Deeply nested fractions can hurt readability; consider algebraic simplification or display math.
Converting textbook screenshots with complex fractions is fast. Upload an image and get LaTeX you can paste directly.
Continued Fractions
Binomial Coefficients
\binom{n}{k} is preferred over the factorial form for clarity and spacing.
Spacing Tips
- Prefer display math for complex fractions.
- Use parentheses with
\\left( \\right)as needed. - Avoid excessive nesting for readability.
